Jeez-o-Pete!

Morning all!

How is it that we go from mid 70 degree gorgeous weather on Sunday to a good inch or two of snow and highs of 30.... Craziness. I can only imagine what our summer will be like.

So in all honesty, I've been struggling.  Ugh.  I briefly stepped on the scale this morning, but stepped off before it could lock in a weight (so it wouldn't sync to MFP) That's sad, I know.  But I don't want to see my downward trend go up ----- is that cheating?!  Anywho - I needed to see it. I needed it to be real so that I get my butt in gear and don't eat anything off plan today.  I need to be back.  I haven't put myself through hell for nothing.  I'm not going to let my hard work go to waste.  I have got too many people rooting for me that I can't let anyone down.  That's one of the biggest issues I have --- I hate disappointing people, or feeling like I might.  In some sense, that's a good thing, but sometimes it backfires and I get weak.  I know it probably doesn't make sense, but sometimes I freak out about not succeeding while I'm really trying, so I sabatoge myself and just say screw it and screw up on purpose. It doesn't make sense. It's confusing.  But I have heard other people say similar things, so I know I'm not the only odd one. :)  

So today's menu --- gotta stay strong!!!!

Monster - check!
Sweet & Salty Peanut Bar - check!
Snack - Chocolate Pudding
Lunch - Cheesesteak Pasta
Snack - Chocolate Shake
Dinner - Mocha Shake

Okay, so I for sure have today, tomorrow and Friday. Saturday we're doing an early dinner at my mom's.  My sis is cooking and planned her menu around me so I should be able to eat veggies and stay on track!  Tonight we're gonna go shopping for Easter dinner.  I'm not making promises about staying on track that day....but I'll try not to be crazy!!  

I got a FitBit Flex from my mom as an early bday gift!! It's so cute - and going to help me be more active.  I'll start shooting for the 10K steps/day goal.  Yesterday I didn't do anything special and was under 5K. So I'll really need to step up my game.  I cannot wait for the warm weather to come back and walk with Claire and the dogs.  I'm hoping the weather is nice on Friday and C and I will spend my day off doing something fun!!!  

Okay guys - I'm gonna try not to disappoint anyone today.  I'm shooting for perfection - let's take it one day at a time.

  2. I've read a lot of diets where you can eat unlimited veggies...does your plan allow the same? A shake for dinner doesn't sound filling :( You're doing so great and when you're feeling weak, just remember to tell yourself that you're doing it for your family too

    1. It's not unlimited veggies on this diet - there's a list of optional foods and most are non starchy veggies but there are still serving sizes. And I'm allowed 4 optional foods a day if needed
